Re: enforcing a plan (in brief)

Hicham

For your experiments (VLDB ? :-) your best bet of specifically bolting
on a plan (if you can't convince the optimizer to do the right thing)
is to hack it in the query planner. 

I've done similar hacks in the past, but only in the TelegraphCQ code
and not in PostgreSQL.
